BIG BARDA #1 by Sean Esty

Sean says: Some of my all-time favorite comic book covers are on the B.P.R.D. 1946 series; this is an homage to #4. As kind of a nod to that inspiration, I've used the old DC logo from the 40's. In the background I've added a parademon from the old Super Powers cartoon (or my take on one), I always liked them more than their comic book counterparts.

What is RELAUNCHED?

RELAUNCHED is a showcase of varied and independent artists given free reign over the comics and characters that they love. Contributors to RELAUNCHED choose an existing property and create their own take on it. Using only their own creativity and craftsmanship, they create a cover and a plot synopsis showing off their interpretation of characters ranging from from Alpha Flight to Zatanna and everyone in between.

RELAUNCHED began life as DC FIFTY-TOO, in which 52 creators (and a few more) were invited to create their own interpretations of a revamped DC Universe, completely liberated from editorial oversight. This was followed by MARVEL UNIVERSE TOO:WHAT IF? where many of the creators returned to work their magic with the Marvel Comics Universe.
